That was part of a recent update to the protocol right? It's on my long list of things to fix.

Orange-pilling my accountant so I can pay him in bitcoin, what's a good intro wallet focused on on-chain? I use Phoenix now since I care more about lightning, but I think the channel open fee would be a bad first experience for him. Blue Wallet?

The skeptic's Bible is a joke. Absolutely pedantic, bad-faith nonsense.

I see, no, I am evangelical, but post-millennial, so I don't believe in the rapture (although I do believe in the final judgment)

Not quite sure what you mean, but I do believe the Bible, so I do think it should be read with the intent of understanding and believing the gospel rather than as a historical curiosity.

It's the worst Bible translation, other than all the other ones.

Modern scholarship doesn't approach the Bible faithfully and tries to explain a lot of stuff away based on an imposed agenda. KJV is hard to read, but at least it comes from a believing culture, so is going to be closer to the original intent.

That said, KJV-only people are fanatics.

I woke up this morning thinking about publishing those nostr:npub1pages5yhmncmmfxuza9f9fx68fju0nxnewtlffzrapsufax5mv0sznuw9d events that act as gossip but signed and updated by nostr:npub1pages5yhmncmmfxuza9f9fx68fju0nxnewtlffzrapsufax5mv0sznuw9d and writing a guide for anyone to be able to run them easily; the database is incredibly small; way less than 1gb and very cheap to run!

And, to reiterate, you’ll be able to query for relay data based on an npub (or hashtags or whatever) and get an up to date “optimal” set of relays for than query.

I don’t think nip05 relay data will ever be kept up to date so it’s a futile exercise to use it imo

I should run a purple pages instance

Going to put my oar in here just for fun:

- Genesis 1-3

- Psalm 1, 2

- Romans 1-8

- Genesis 12:1-3, 15, 18, 22

- Matthew

- Galatians 4-6

- Exodus 1-20

- Deuteronomy 27-33

- Psalm 90

- Judges

- Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians

- 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel 1-2, 11-15

- Psalm 15, 40, 51, 127

- 1 Chronicles 28 - 2 Chronicles 9

- Proverbs 1-7, Ecclesiastes

- 1 Kings 16:29 - 2 Kings 12

- 2 Kings 18 - 2 Kings 25

- Jeremiah 21-25, Isaiah 40, 53-55, Daniel 1-6

- John

- Jonah, Micah, Malachi

- Acts

- Hebrews, 1-2 Peter

The above is a roughly chronological with some NT goodness thrown in. I tried to cover the main events while also giving lots of time to the fun/weird stuff (like Elijah and Daniel).

Choose a literate translation over a strictly accurate one to start (although the Message might be too far afield). ESV is accurate, but not very readable, I like the NKJV.

Also, a House for My Name and Through New Eyes are both very good for understanding the old testament if you want to really dig in.
